Well the beauty of the culture here is that when times are tough people join together with pleasure. Unemployed hotel workers are welcomed back to their families in other provinces and people staying here will live together to save money. Most landlords have cut the rents in half (not for foreigners of course haha) and banks delayed the credits for a long period as ordered by the government. Of course some people do suffer but in general Thais are used to waiting for a bad situation to change.
